In my working life, before retirement, I flew a lot. I mean every week for decades.

Looking down at the world from 38000 feet regularly, I gained a perspective.

Nothing is ugly from that altitude. You see the land in all its glory, majesty.

We are unutterably stupid as an organism.

I can only imagine the level of vision that is given to astronauts.

William Shatner was moved beyond belief.

I despair at the shortsightedness of so many earthlings.

We’re just an organism, but we are suicidal in our practices.

We have a beautiful planet that somehow we seek to destroy.
